Are you a bath person? I think everybody is either a bath person or not a bath person. I’ve tended to be a non-bath person, but I think that may just be because I don’t have time or take the time to take a bath. I even have a jacuzzi in my house.
So, recently I’ve been exploring healthy, natural health solutions. And I’ve been reading up on different toxins in most everything I consume. This has led me to start using coconut oil for moisturizer and I just made some homemade body butter to use for lotion. I like knowing what’s in the products I’m using. I’ve still got a long way to go in replacing them all, but you gotta start somewhere, right?
So, I decided to try making my own bath salts. Evidently epsom salt baths are great for detoxing the body and I know that Lavender has many benefits! It was super easy and only used three ingredients.
Here’s what you’ll need:
1 cup of Epson salts {I bought mine at Walmart for $3 for 4 lbs.}
1 tablespoon of baking soda
10 drops of essential oils {I only recommend Young Living Essential Oils.}
Mix the ingredients together in a bowl and store in an airtight, glass container. I found my little half-cup glass jars at Hobby Lobby, but you could use any glass container.
Pour 1/4 of a cup of salts under warm, running water. Soak and Enjoy! {Use 1/2 a cup in larger garden tubs.}
I have used them multiple times since I whipped up this batch of bath salts and it was fabulous. I also let my 4-year-old daughter soak in the bath and she sleeps very well afterwards, let me tell ya! I just love my Lavender oil.

Love this idea and would love to use it on a Mother’s Day roundup with a link back.
I noticed you said you had a Jacuzzi tub. Do you know if it’s alright to use bath salts in them. I’d like to start using mine with Lavender bath salts to help with Fibro pain. This would be great. Thanks
You know, I never thought about the epsom salts hurting the jetted tub. I just looked it up and it seems like the salts by themselves are OK, as long as they dissolve completely in the water. I saw some concerns about the essential oils adding build up to the pipes and maybe needing to clean them out more often? I honestly will continue to use them in my tub, but you may want to call the manufacturer of your tub and ask them. Thanks for stopping by! I hope you get some relief from your Fibro pain!!
Sorry I added to wrong comment.
Do you have any free printable labels for the tops of the jars? Yours look lovely! What a great DIY gift.
Oh, I should probably try to add that to the post, huh? 🙂 I’ll see what I can do!
Thanks. Looking it up hopefully would have occurred to me but when you mentioned it I thought first of asking you since you’d done it. I appreciate the info.
I love lavender! This sounds great! I will definitely be trying this! Thanks for sharing 🙂
Do you have samples? Is there a way to get a sample of the lavender and Melrose oils?
Hi Connie … I can sell you a bottle to try. I’ll send you an e-mail here in a bit!
i have been wanting to make bath salts and its on the top of my list now. Pined for later! 🙂
